the tech fascists think they are so clever and smart but their entire worldview is just a bunch of stale apologetics for race hatred and fascism

Stop prioritizing the existence of a technology over the agency of human beings.

New @nbcnews.com poll:

33% of Americans approve of Trump’s handling of the Iran war.

67% disapprove.

A majority “strongly disapprove.”

Great article, but I was struck by how you financially struggled most of your career despite doing important reporting. We really need a different way of getting and paying for news.

None of the above?

Wait. I thought SCOTUS said no more nationwide injunctions. Just injunctions as to the litigants.

Re-upping this post.

July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.

I could have done without reading about RFK and a dead raccoon penis.

Nearly 1 out of 7 children in Texas have no health insurance. Shameful.

Polls about one-term governors just elected in Virginia are meaningless. Focus on opinions about the Virginia General Assembly.

Virginians: Vote Yes on April 21 (or earlier) to counteract GOP Congressional gerrymandering in Texas and other states. That’s what’s at issue.

This is a victory for the LGBTQ+ community and for our entire city. It’s a reminder that New Yorkers won’t let our history be rewritten.

Our administration will keep working to ensure LGBTQ+ New Yorkers can live safely and with dignity in our city.

Trump's followers on Truth Social are calling him the Antichrist after his post of an image depicting himself as Jesus

the evil emperor cozying up to the pope’s idiot brother is so fucking renaissance, man. it’s so funny. the emperor is forming an alliance against the papal states and there is war in the holy land. there are rumors of plague.

pope leo is weak on crime lmao. sometimes priests wear a cape type situation but he’s not batman, dude.

no one is doing it like jd vance, a loser across three continents in a single weekend

The conquer’d triumphs,
The victor has the loss

Weird that we are living in a society that feels like a prequel to Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower.

I also voted yes. Gerrymandering isn’t going away. For Democrats not to use it in Virginia (and elsewhere) when Republicans are using it in TX, NC, and FL, is to unilaterally disarm in an electoral war for control of Congress. Is it pretty? It is not. Is it necessary? Yes. Vote 🗳️ YES on 4/21.

The #1 problem in the world is Donald Trump.

😕

The vote in VA on the Redistricting Amendment is 4/21. Keep seeing signs saying “Vote No - End Gerrymandering” & I wish I had signs I could add right next to them saying: “Not in Texas though; just in Virginia.” Because that’s what it’s about: leveling the playing field. Vote Yes 4/21.

Aminu Timberlake would like a word with you, Jon. 😉

As an aside, and for whatever reason, UConn gives me UMd vibes.
